HOW DO THE UNWISE INTERPRET THE QUR'AN?


             knowledge of science and scientific progress, nor a subtle
             comprehension, end up opposing the Qur'an.
                Still, the people of the 21st century witnessed, through the use
             of the latest technological observations, experiments and research,
             the miraculous verification of various scientific facts pointed to in
             the Qur'an. Furthermore, science was dominated by hearsay and
             unproven theories until the last two centuries when all the while

             the Qur'an, written some 1,400 years ago, was drawing attention
             to scientific facts that have finally been proven today.
                Numerous scientific topics, such as the Big Bang, the expansion
             of the universe, the relativity of time, continental motion etc.,
             were mentioned in the Qur'an when it was revealed nearly 1,400
             years ago. (For a detailed analysis see Miracles of the Qur'an by
             Harun Yahya.) The secret of these verses remained a mystery for
             Muslims, who had been reading them for years. However, Muslims
             expressed faith in all of these verses, which they knew to contain
             many secrets and great wisdom, without understanding their true
             meaning, just as they believe without any doubt that the Qur'an is
             the "truth" (haq) revealed by God. Those who use their reason
             and are capable of intense thought perceive each verse as a part of
             the endless knowledge of God. It is true that there remain some
             verses that have yet to be fully explained and whose mysteries

             have still to be revealed. Such verses are a source of excitement
             and enthusiasm for the true believer. This concealed knowledge
             also makes them feel totally enclosed within the boundless wisdom
             of God.
                Those with ulterior motives commonly try to cast doubt on
             those verses which have not yet been explained by the current
             standards of science and technology. In the Qur'an it is said of
             those people:
